I just feel like saying things on the internet is a bad idea. (Victoria)

By which I mean people on the internet will make you want to punch them and yourself in the face to get away from it.

So I’m a massive Whovian, right. Like, I am so incredibly keen for the 50th anniversary and for the Twelfth Doctor and it just makes me so happy to think about with four freaking Doctors (and Rose!) this year and ohmygosh.

So the 50th anniversary is on November 23rd and one of my favourite DW pages posted a petition to have a replica of the TARDIS on the lawn of the White House for the week before. Now, I think this is a brilliant idea and would be awesome, except, November 22nd is the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination. And I commented that perhaps people (Americans and the White House) woudl find the TARDIS disrespectful to JFK.

Bad idea.

I just can’t handle people on the internet. Like, can you seriously not see where I’m coming from? The two are both incredible and increibly improtant things to acknowledge and celebrate (Not: celebrate JFK, not his assassination), but they are also completely separate things (unless you count in “Rose” when the Nine is pictured at the assassination). There is going to be a whole spectrum of opinions on a White House TARDIS and no doubt there are going to be people who love the idea and don’t see it as disrespectful, but they have to understand that there are going to be people who see a British sci-fi show, regardless of its status and longevity, to be trivialising of a key moment in recent US history.

But I mean only two people have replied to my comment and one of them accepts my point so it’s not like this is even a big deal I just can’t stand the narrow-mindedness of people on the internet when they think they opinions is being attacked or invalidated. And I wasn’t attacking or invalidating anyone’s opinion, I was just expressing what is presumably also going to be a strong opinion.
